It's an exciting (and scary) time to be a small business owner, and Walker Interactive client The Happy Factory is no exception.
A client just asked me, "should I be tweeting? Or twittering? Or whatever it's called?"
Technically, you use Twitter to write a tweet. Or send a tweet. Or tweet a tweet, as it were. But however you say it, YES, you should be doing it.
Sometimes I think the best kind of call is a client saying "Yes, we'd like to work with you." But truth be told, the absolute best kind is when an existing client calls to say she got a huge win -- and her web site is the reason.
Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. You spend time updating your status, tweeting your brilliant thoughts and posting info on your fanpage. But how do you know if it gets you any business?
This is fascinating. The Flash issue (or lack thereof) is a pretty contentious one, to say the least, and I've already discussed it here. I have long been an Apple person (before there were Mac people, really) but I find the Cupertino folks position on Flash very... well, very Microsoftish.
I sometimes wish there was a bigger fanfare for when a new site goes live. I know there are press releases and tweets and blogs (cough, cough) but I wish there was some music, some doves fluttering into the sky... but alas. Sites go live every day and few people notice
Now, now, this is a family site. Let's keep it clean. The F word I mean is FLASH.
I told him, "Good. Don't."
Make it your own. Mix it up.
Why did you change it so much? It was a hit for a reason.
For ten years, we've built relationships with our customers and enjoyed their word of mouth referrals, which bring new folks into the folks. But for the first time, we can say we've taken care of a family!
